See below: Rest your voice, drinking plenty of fluid---tea with honey is great, Mucinex (guaifenesin) sometimes helps with mucus. If no improvement, see your doctor.

I had a cold 4 weeks ago and lost my voice pretty bad. My voice came back but I get very hoarse easily (intermittently, usually triggered if I talk a lot or drink alcohol). Is it normal for laryngitis to last this long?
